Earn a degree as unique as you are
The general studies degree provides personalized learning opportunities for students whose diverse interest in the sciences encompasses a mix of disciplines and courses not typically found within a single academic program.
Working with a dedicated academic advisor, students can create a custom program of study which meets their academic or career goals and fulfills WSU’s graduation requirements and standards.
Degree options
General Studies
- Biological Sciences
- Mathematical Sciences

Plan ahead

Choose your plan of study
Variations in the general studies and the general sciences programs offer additional flexibility to customize your degree to meet your academic, personal, and professional goals.
Plan A:
Choose one primary area of concentration—biological sciences, physical sciences, or mathematics—and one secondary area of concentration from almost any other discipline offered at WSU.
Plan B:
Study three related areas within either biological sciences or physical sciences.
